Kannada voice over services

For the office, often not. For the city, yes. English is the working language of the technology sector, which makes it easy to conclude the whole market runs on it, but daily life in Bengaluru and across Karnataka happens in Kannada. Consumer-facing content, employer branding and anything aimed at staff outside the management layer land differently in the local language.

No, and this is the assumption that costs most. Karnataka is not a Hindi-speaking state — Hindi there is a language people may have learned rather than the language of home — so a Hindi version is not a fallback for Kannada. If your plan treats Hindi plus English as national coverage, Bengaluru is one of the places where it is not.

It is the case we would push hardest. Service centres, logistics, delivery and manufacturing employ largely Kannada-speaking workforces under English-speaking management, so compliance, safety and onboarding modules delivered only in English are half-understood by the people they exist to protect. It is also usually the cheapest high-impact localisation on an India budget.

No. All three are Dravidian and Kannada's script is related to Telugu's, which is where the assumption comes from, but they are separate languages and not mutually intelligible. A Kannada audience identifies a non-native immediately. We cast native speakers of each and can schedule several together for a multi-language India rollout.

Yes, and for Kannada that is the usual arrangement — our Kannada talent records through our global network rather than in London. You can direct live over Source-Connect, Zoom or Teams so you hear takes as they happen and can adjust on the spot.

Yes, with native Kannada linguists writing from your source rather than from a Hindi version. For training and compliance content we would also settle the terminology up front, since the wording has to be consistent across a module set for it to be usable.

Kannada script, ideally. Romanised Kannada leaves vowel length and retroflex consonants ambiguous, and both change meaning. If you only have a romanised or English version, send it and we will have a native linguist prepare a clean script before the session.

Workforce and compliance training, corporate video and internal communications, eLearning, advertising aimed at Karnataka, public-information and government content, banking and delivery-platform material, documentary narration, and OTT and broadcast content.

Most short Kannada projects are delivered within 24 to 48 hours; longer or multi-voice work is scheduled with your dedicated project manager, who confirms a firm date up front. The time difference is handled at our end.

Less than people expect: the script, or the draft of it, its total running time or word count, where the recording will be used, and the date you need it by. If the script is not signed off yet, send the draft anyway — we would rather quote on what exists than wait for a version that eats your deadline. A named project manager comes back with an itemised quote, normally within four working hours.

More than half of enquiries get a reply within thirty minutes during office hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm UK time), and the itemised quote normally follows within four working hours. After that you have one dedicated project manager who owns the job from brief to final file — not a ticket queue, and not a different name on every email. If it is easier, call +44 207 095 5730 and ask for them by name.

Yes, and it is one of the commonest reasons people get in touch. Tell us it is for a pitch and you get a figure you can put in front of your own client, itemised so it stands up to being picked apart, with no obligation and no follow-up sales calls if the pitch goes elsewhere. If it lands, the quote still holds and we already know the project.
